[Video]

[This video is of Issei sitting in his room reading a book.

Seconds pass. Issei looks up.]

Isn't that the camera light...?

[He comes closer. And then, without warning, violently hugs his laptop so that all the screen shows is his chest way, way too close to make out anything.]

I missed you! I don't even care about the viruses any longer, I won't do anything stupid again! Just don't ever cut me off again, and I'll be set for the rest of my life!

[Apparently satisfied, the video ends.]

[Here's Birkin, wiping his eyes on the sleeves of his labcoat and not even bothering to hide the fact]

Issei, I could kiss you right now.

[unknownrival]

Please don't, I think my boyfriend would get mad at you.

Maybe on the cheek. It is an emotional occasion.

I knew it would come back eventually. But if I could get 'I won't do anything stupid again' in writing, I would appreciate it.

[unknownrival]

I'm not sure I can put my signature to that, actually...

[anothersoul]

You seem rather excited.

[oh hi, Lancer papa's Master.]

[unknownrival]

I've missed my friends terribly.

[aquaticrush]

Issei-san? Is it... Issei-san, you're really back!

[unknownrival]

Retasu, I've missed you dearly.

[makewayforroze]

Welcome back!

[unknownrival]

Thank you very much.

[material_guy]

You were cut off?

[unknownrival]

Thank you for noticing.

[originaldragoon]

I do not think I have seen someone that excited about coming back to the community.

[unknownrival]

Well, I do have plenty of friends here.

[chimeranomore]

[Have an actual genuine big Zel smile.]

Welcome back, Issei. I suppose we should have known the community couldn't operate without you for too long.

[unknownrival]

I wouldn't go that far.

[jailbirds]

If you're still an idiot, you can leave again.

[unknownrival]

Not going to happen.

[stillneedawish]

Issei-san! You're back!

[unknownrival]

Sorry to disappear on you.

[heavenlyhome]

Issei-kun! Welcome back, dear!

[unknownrival]

Oneesan, you're too kind.

[Oh. It's another person she knows who's come back to the community with no memories.]
